Bang for the buck

Worth it completely. It's a great place to get an education. The teachers really care about all of the students.

What to do for fun

There are a lot of on campus activities to do through out the week. The sporting events are always fun as well. There is not a lot to do around Bluefield, but you make a lot of friends by having nothing to do.

Food and Dining

Some days are better than others. There are a lot of options for food so you aren't stuck eating just one thing.

Dorm Life

Not terrible, but could use some paint. I live in one of the older buildings so it could use some work, but my room is still pleasent and comfortable.

Academic Rigor

The classes vary in rigor. But, all the teachers are willing to help you at all times. Plus, there is free tutoring for all students.

Tips for prospective students

Apply for a lot of scholarships. Going to a private school does cost more because it is not government funded. Scholarships are not easy to get from outside sources.

In three sentences

Bluefield College is a wonderful place to be. Everyone, including students and faculty, are kind. They are willing to do anything to help you.
